It’s also worth noting I’ve recently been seeing a lot of Linux posts from people who just switched, this was somewhat of a trend on Reddit as well but imo the Linux posting has gotten noticeably less toxic toward newer users and a lot more understanding of the “using Linux without wanting to spend hours configuring everything” perspective.

Side point that’s somewhat related to that: I wonder how the growth of other platforms FOSS platforms like Lemmy, Mastodon, Matrix, etc. has impacted Linux project development. Not sure if it’s just me but it seems like it’s helped a lot with making Linux communities more accessible.

If the fediverse is so cool how come there’s no fediverse 2 huh???

I don’t think anyone’s against the idea of it getting delayed, rather they’re making fun of the fact that Boeing has a pretty bad history with safety (and the whole “multiple whistleblowers dying” part) and every time they are about to launch some other critical problem shows up.

Personally I’d love to see Boeing have a safe, successful launch but as things are right now it looks increasingly like NASA’s contract with them won’t show expected results. I’m not going to pretend to be a safety expert so I obviously trust the people doing launch inspections over my own judgement, but I’m not exaggerating when I trust Boeing’s rocket to be safe about as much as I would trust the next OceanGate submarine.

I know I’m late to this but here’s my (probably insane?) take. We use Subject-Verb-Object in English right? So, hear me out:

dialog_create_tab(...)
dialog_open_file(...)
dialog_close_file(...)

I’m guessing lemmy.cafe has .ml blocked but not the other way around, OP likely can’t see your comment

Pretty sure that’s a joke, Mali’s TLD is .ml

Software optimization is mostly not a language-level problem. I’ll be dailying my 3-year-old OnePlus 9 Pro until it starts missing out on security updates, but it will probably still be “usable” long after that. Support/updates aside, my 6-year-old galaxy s9 can still run most normal apps. Hell, I got the most recent lineageOS running on a pixel 2 XL from the year before that and it straight up felt fast as long as I wasn’t playing some super intensive game or something. This isn’t an android vs. iOS problem, it’s a “developers of [insert flashy new app here] either not bothering to put effort in to optimize their code or being forced to push out a minimum viable product ASAP” problem.

Edit: fixed my hyphen use

This has to be bait

Another big thing that doesn’t get covered by big O analysis is the potential for parallelization and multi threading, because the difference created by multi threading only amounts to one of those dropped coefficients.

And yet, especially for the workloads being run on a server with 32-128 cores, being able to run algorithms in parallel will make a huge difference to performance.

Seconding Breezy, the app is way better than my phone’s (OnePlus 9p) default weather app. They also have a wide variety of widgets, including some with Material You theming for Android 13+.

I think blocking downvotes is an option built into Lemmy servers that can be communicated through the API. I know there are a decent amount of instances that don’t federate downvotes because of toxicity concerns.
